Federated States of Micronesia

FSM joined the Global TNA Project in 2025 to assess key climate technologies that can help the islands to build resilience and mitigate climate risks.

As a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), the FSM are extremely vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change, especially its implications on rising sea levels and devastating natural disasters, threatening the very existence of the country.

FSM’s freshwater supply is at risk from saltwater intrusion, exacerbating the already existing water scarcity. Increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as typhoons, which endanger lives, damage properties, and disrupt the economy.

FSM recognizes the need to take rapid climate action and has thus specified ambitious climate targets in its NDC. The country is seeking to increase renewable energy capacities and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and increasing energy security, enhancing energy efficiency, as well as strengthening sustainable land-use practices. In addition, FSM states adaptation as a key priority in its NDC, striving to benefit from synergies and co-benefits of adaptation and mitigation options.

By participating in the TNA process FSM is better able to achieve SDGs:
